Color
BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI
What is pink? a rose is pink
By a fountain's brink.
What is red? a poppy's red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is white? a swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow? pears are yellow,
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is green? the grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!

THE CROSS IN MY POCKET
I carry a cross in my pocket
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I am a Christian
No matter where I may be.
The little cross is not magic
Nor is it a good luck charm
It isn’t to protect me
From every physical harm.
It’s not for identification
For all the world to see
It simply is an understanding
Between the Saviour and me.
When I put my hand in my pocket
To bring out a coin or a key
The cross is there to remind me
Of the price he paid for me.
It reminds me to be thankful
For my blessings Day by Day
To try and Serve HIM better
In all I do and say.

BUTTERFLIES
I know a little butterfly
With tiny golden wings
He plays among the Summer flowers
And up and down he swings.
He dances on their honeycups
So happy all the day
And then he spreads his tiny wings
And softly flies away.
Jean had a poem for every day. She loved butterflies
